So I've been doing more historical research, and I have a basic idea of what I'm covering for the documentary. I've also started to get contacts for potential activists to be interviewed. Unfortunately, when asking people if they have any interviewee suggestions, they are only connecting me with those who were involved with Civil Rights demonstrations. Although it's good information to have, I really want to focus on other topics as well. However, I still have plenty of time to find other activists! I've also started to contact politicians. I am currently still trying to figure out the video software. I hope to still purchase Premiere Pro but am excited to connect with an IT expert who can point me in the right direction, as well.

Well, it's been about a week since school ended, so it seems like a pretty good time to get started on my Fellows Project. I'm going to download Adobe Premiere Pro today and see what I have to do funds-wise. However, when looking to purchase the production software, I noticed that for students it is around the same cost to buy Premiere Pro alone for $20.99 per month and the discounted bundle for students that includes all Adobe apps for $19.99. I'll have to check it out.
Today I'm also going to reach out to my outside mentor Vicky Bruce to see if she can think of any potential student-activists to contact. Because she has made multiple political documentaries, I know she'll have an idea of where to start. Lastly, I'm going to start organizing my thoughts a little more. My project and the material I'm working with has many specifics so I need to figure out which details are essential to the documentary and which aren't. |
